STANNOL

- Flux-Gels
Rework fluxes
STANNOL GmbH manufactures and provides a wide range of pasty fluxes since many
years. These are applicable for different application ranges. Since decades the
STANNOL
®
Lötfett „Soldering paste (grease)“ in the „blue jar“ is known for soldering in
handicraft, engineering, metal works and piping. This traditional product is limited in use
because of its corrosive properties. Therefore electric or electronic equipment is
excluded. Despite of the fact that there is a risk, it is used for those applications, where
the flux residue is removed by wiping or where the residue can be left around the solder
joint.
Kontaktlötpaste "Contact Soldering Paste" is a further development of the soldering
paste (grease) based on rosin, adjusted to requirements on ISO flux type 1.1.2. It is used
for simple repair of electric and electronic consumer products.
With the development of modern PCB assemblies with fine pitch structures where
surface mount technology has been evolved, modern flux-gels are the latest
development towards newest soldering technology.
For modern solder paste technology, applicable for printing processes a flux medium was
required to combine solderability with applicability in printing and dispensing machines.
The medium for solderpaste without any metal powder has already the required
properties of a Flux-Gel. The first STANNOL
®
product of this type is Flux-Gel RMA04.
The well established solder cream RMA04 (now as type SP04 in our program) is used as
a robust medium in the Surface-Mount-Technology. Flux-Gels of this type are generally
designed as „No-Clean“ products and have in principle the same physical and chemical
properties like the corresponding solder creams. Since that time a wide range of flux-gels
has been developed with different properties to cope with different requirements: Flux-
Gel RMA04, Flux-Gel 135 and Multifix 450-01. Special Formulations with fast
evaporating solvents are Kolopaste No.8 and Smart-Gel No. 8D. For those who prefer
water soluble flux residues Flux-Gel HX21 is a suitable product.
